It’s wild to see “autistically” used as an adjective in this case to mean…….”diligently”? “With care”? “Using knowledge?”

i’m bothered when allies™️ say “oh, gender affirming care? 😏” as a gotcha cause -cosmetic care, hormonal care, and patriarchal consumerism is not synonymous with gender affirmation -the allies™️ saying it are into (weak) dunks, not trans rights -it makes the case that trans care is superflous

If a candidate does not support the human rights of a group of people, they are not in fact “on the right side of things except for one imperfection”. To vocalize a disagreement that a human should have rights is a poison that spoils their ability to govern. Hope that helps clarify things.

Three years on testosterone! Modern medicine is very cool!!

A side-by-side comparison of CJ on his first day of testosterone versus his third year. Changes include much more facial hair, chest hair, and their facial expression has changed from “awkward alien who just got here and it’s also the first day of school” to “guy who’s aged three years but seems more certain”

A side-by-side comparison of CJ on his first day of testosterone versus his third year. This one is more focused on the body; while they’re wearing the same jean shorts in each shot, CJ’s body mass has shifted shape so he looks more square and his pecs look more defined. He also has a lot more hair on his tummy.

This picture is just today-CJ, flexing while shirtless. He’s not the most muscular guy on the planet but please bear in mind, the muscles just kind of showed up one day.

The Wikipedia article for Israel is pretty blunt about what’s going on, as one example.

A screenshot of a section of the Wikipedia page for Israel, which reads:

“[beginning of sentence not included] conflict persists. Israel's illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories has drawn international criticism, with most Middle East experts arguing that Israel's treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank in relation to Israeli settlers constitutes a system of apartheid. After the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, Israel began committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel and its allies, including the United States, deny that Israels’s actions constitute genocide.”

I’ve made this convenient graph based on research mapping mosquito bite locations on a scale of 1. How easy or hard it is to itch the spot 2. How much dignity you can maintain doing so, and/or how rude it was of the mosquito to do that

Christ where do I start, okay so it’s a piece of lined paper titled “Mosquito Bite Locations”. It’s a quadrant chart; the Y axis ranges from “no impact on dignity” to “indignant”, and the X axis ranges from “easy to access/itch” to “challenging to access/itch”. In the top-left quadrant are arms and legs. Top-right quadrant includes palm and ankle. Bottom-left has stomach, face, inner thigh, and boobs. Bottom-right are the butt and bottom of foot.

ftr matzah is bread. it is not *leavened* bread. also, there is a matzah-breaking ritual during the seder so even though el-sayed meant it metaphorically it is also literally true. this isn't a lie meant for jews, it's to get goyim to falsely think el-sayed was being antisemitic or insensitive.

A huge example of an entire society experiencing grief but some being stuck in the denial/anger/bargaining stage. Most if not all of us lost the life we should have had because of COVID-19, but we wouldn’t have magically had that life by ignoring that COVID-19 was happening at all.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

Accidentally referenced Urinetown to a stranger because I forgot not everyone has heard of that one so this is me now basically

The XKCD comic titled "Average Familiarity", which is two stick figures talking to each other. The text of the original has been altered so it reads as such:

Ponytail: Provocative theatre is second nature to us theatre artists so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows Avenue Q or Reefer Madness and one or two versions of Spring Awakening.

Bald: And Urinetown of course.

Ponytail: Of course.

Bottom Text: Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

As someone who’s in recovery from an ED here are two facts that are obvious but sometimes helpful to contextualize this behavior: 1. Mentally ill people are still responsible for how our actions impact others 2. Starvation impacts mental ability; struggling with an ED can sadly make ya stupid

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls Ashley Brouillette received from her ex-husband’s current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”

She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and confirmed that was him on scene, telling him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”

“In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.

Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship. She said that she’s been inundated with calls, since reports of Brouillette’s involvement began circulating online, threatening her and her family.

The term "biological sex" was adopted widely only in the last decade as a reaction to mainstream acceptance of trans people. It was rarely if ever used before that. By any metric, from legislative usage to search query usage, it's plainly evident this is a novel term only made popular by the right.
